Active break timer with exercises - reminds you to move at the office.

v0.8.3

* F-Droid listing polish: raster launcher icons (mdpi–xxxhdpi) added so the app icon renders correctly in F-Droid's catalog and on Android 7 devices

Office Break is a simple, privacy-respecting timer that reminds you to take active movement breaks during your workday. Set an interval, hit start, and when the timer expires the app suggests a random exercise. Confirm "Done!" and the timer restarts automatically - over and over, until you stop it.

Stay fit while working from home or at the office, without ads, tracking, or accounts.

Features:

* Adjustable break interval (hours + minutes) with sliders or manual input
* Configurable repetitions, fixed or randomized in a min/max range
* Three context-aware exercise modes: Home Office Workout (bodyweight strength), Home Office Mobility (yoga-inspired stretches), Office (subtle desk-friendly moves)
* 25 built-in exercises across all modes - add your own or disable the ones you don't like
* Optional auto-mode by weekday: bind a different mode to each day of the week (e.g. Office on Mon/Tue, Home Workout on Wed-Fri)
* Work schedule with per-day start/end and lunch break: timer auto-pauses during lunch and stops at end-of-shift; full night-shift support
* Freestyle mode after work hours for free-running breaks without exercise prompts
* Foreground service with persistent notification, screen wake-up, and full-screen lock-screen alert when the timer expires
* Configurable beep, vibration, and custom notification sounds (pick any audio file)
* Text-to-speech: exercise names spoken aloud in your language
* Home screen widget (Glance) with live second-by-second countdown, today's break count, current streak, and a one-tap Start button
* Achievements system with shareable cards (over 35 milestones)
* Local statistics: total breaks, reps, weekly trends, most frequent exercise - all data stays on your device
* JSON backup export and import via Storage Access Framework
* Material 3 theming, light/dark/system modes, accessibility-tuned (TalkBack, reduce-motion, large fonts)
* English and German UI
